That is my area for the last 20 years , if you havent been there in 25 years you have a lot of new things to woory about than roads , to say the least ! Ill try not to get to stuborn here but if things like tbe Omack stampead seems to be your setting. You will fit right in , if i was you i would stay east if i was you , your not the only one who sees the succes rateings up there and on opening weekend you will understand , if thats hunting i need to find some newraindeer and a new sled that flies !! If your bow hunting up there then wate till the 5th day of the season , then your hunting in the woods , not anational recreation area , where you have to dodge jeeps , dirt bikes , road hunters with open headers , jacked up on goof juice , crooks creeps n criminals robbing camps , and oh ya ! that fashionable dude in tbe corderoy camoes running through the woods like hes chaseing a winning lottery ticket ! All that being said , i will be there,,,,,,,, on the 5th day !! I deffinately come in on the I90 side some of those roads are are very slow moveing, i had to make things passable in alot of spots chainsaw n shovel and a buddy to help move stuff , and I90 will have fish n feathers guideing your evry move so you can feel all washington and stuff inside !!
